Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I'm running slackware64-current and I've got scim running by following the hints and tips from slack 12.2. It runs in daemon mode when I start X. My $LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8. When I press ctrl+space scim doesn't do anything. I've tried changing the settings, selecting all languages, only selecting Chinese, English and Chinese, but still no response.

Has anyone gotten scim working in Slackware 13? Any tips I'm missing out on?

I'm using SCIM for Korean input on Slackware 13.0 (32-bit edition) and I do not have any issue to write Korean characters in QT-based or in GTK-based applications. OK it may not be helpful to you.

Maybe you could inform about your window manager: KDE or XFCE?

Some other useful information that you may provide:

- In which application was the mouse cursor located when you pressed ctrl+space (ex: was it in the search bar of Firefox, in Kwrite...)
- Have you really a full installation (in case one required package for SCIM is missing)?

I'm running a stock full installation updated to slackware64-current, using KDE4. I can put the cursor anywhere and I get nothing. How did you edit your scim settings to get hangul? Did you select it from the list within scim? Are you running in a Korean locale?

Hello,

I'm using the French locale!!! So your locale is not an issue as long as you're using a .UTF-8 locale.

SCIM needs to be configured first for available input engines. Right-click on the keyboard icon in the system tray and select "Configuration".

Then you can use this how-to to find your way around the configuration items.

I already had my setting set as per that howto, but I did realize how to clarify my question: the scim panel never appears. Is it possible that something else is stealing the shortcut? I'm mystified. Never had problems with scim before on slack.
